I made the snowbaord and my friend Will made the bindings. They worked really well for a trip to Beehive Peak early last friday. The forecast for the weekend was pretty bleak so we went out a day early.
As soon as the sun rose the peak was looming ahead.

The descent down the north side was on excellent snow. It was too high and sheltered to have been affected by the sun.
The second run back down the basin wasn't so hot though. Breakable crust about an inch thick would put considerable effort into trying to steer your snowboard. It was challenging to make turns. About half way down the basin the sun popped out and things got nice and warm. Spring skiing is fun.

Not bad, but I think that hangboarding is the next step.
I haven't seen this before, but it might be fun.
